  • Improve the energy investment framework

    Speed up decision making and open the energy sectors to market-based mechanisms for prices and fuel choices.

  • Establish a single office within the Investment Coordination Board

    To facilitate infrastructure investments in renewable energy, electricity and natural gas, set up an office, which would advise and support investors in obtaining the necessary permits and licences from central and local institutions.

  • Foster the development of electricity and gas markets

    Develop and implement an integrated, long-term development plan for natural gas infrastructure, reform wholesale natural gas pricing and allocation mechanisms, and establish an independent downstream regulator for natural gas and electricity, with the long-term goal of a national wholesale market and more efficient use of gas.
